...Making child care glamorous is tough, so I propose that we get confrontational. Men's insistence that we can't raise our children bugs me. Let's take it to the stage. The constant mantra in male hip hop is about the absense of a father, while mentioning the mother only because she was there, like a stand in. Boo! Okay, the woman's place in the family is extremely important, and women emcees should speak to the world about this. The best way is to not even engage men in debate about whether or not the role...
...amidst the flurry of excitement over the possible discovery of the body and the race to find out the truth of whether the explorer actually reached the top, Mallory's son John is quietly trying to defuse the importance of the debate, saying that his father cannot be considered the first to summit Everest. "To me the only way you achieve a summit is to come back alive. The job is half done, isn't it, if you don't get down again," he said in an interview on BBC radio.

In fact, recent articles in technology journals like Wired and PCWeek worry that "Nintendo thumb" in children might prove an early harbinger of future RSI troubles. Podolsky sees this exponential growth in computer...
...quite ready to break out the turntables and drop rhymes like my childhood in a multi-acre, tree-lined estate compels me to. But at least my relationship with hip-hop goes beyond a fondness for the Fat Boys. Because when I was growing up, everyone's father was a lawyer, and everyone's mother was a real estate agent. And you're going to tell me that that's not real...
